Hello Aspirant.

Hope you are doing well.

Tennessee Williams uses the technique known as breaking the fourth wall, when a fictional character talks directly to the audience and thereby breaks through the invisible screen that separates audience from characters. This is the central theme of The Glass Menagerie. From it emerge two related themes: the impossibility of escape and the trap of memory—or of the past in general. The play is memory in more than one sense. As is much of Williams’s work, The Glass Menagerie is poignantly autobiographical. However, this is by far his most autobiographical work.

GOOD LUCK, STAY MOTIVATED AND HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thankyou.
